Frigidaire ULTRAWF & PAULTRA Water and Air Filter Combo Pack Replacement

Your Frigidaire refrigerator works harder than you might think to keep water tasting clean and food staying fresh longer. The ULTRAWF PureSource Ultra water filter and PAULTRA Pure Air Ultra air filter combo pack covers both filtration systems in a single purchase, making your twice-yearly maintenance simpler, more cost-effective, and easier to track. Confirm both part numbers against your refrigerator model before ordering to get the correct fit first time.

Easy Installation for the Frigidaire ULTRAWF Water Filter

2. Twist the old filter counterclockwise until it releases from the housing
3. Pull the old ULTRAWF filter straight out
4. Align the new filter with the housing inlet and insert it firmly

6. Run 2 to 3 gallons of water through the dispenser before drinking
7. Reset the filter indicator light per the Frigidaire refrigerator user guide

Easy Installation for the Frigidaire PAULTRA Air Filter

The PAULTRA uses a push-in design that takes seconds to complete with no tools required. Here is how the swap works:

1. Locate the air filter housing inside the Frigidaire refrigerator fresh food compartment, typically on the rear wall
2. Press the release tab to disengage the old PAULTRA filter from the housing slot
3. Pull the old filter straight out
4. Remove the new PAULTRA filter from its packaging
5. Push the new filter firmly into the housing until it clicks securely into place
6. No flushing or water line reset is required after installation

When to Replace the Frigidaire ULTRAWF & PAULTRA Combo Pack

Replace both filters in the combo pack when any of the following occur:

• Every 6 months or 200 gallons for the ULTRAWF water filter, whichever comes first
• Every 6 months for the PAULTRA air filter regardless of usage level
• Dispensed water develops a flat taste or noticeable chemical odor
• Refrigerator interior develops persistent food odors between cleanings
• Water flow from the dispenser drops noticeably below normal
• Stored produce spoils faster than expected
• The filter indicator light activates on the Frigidaire control panel

Replacing both filters together at the 6 month mark keeps both systems refreshed simultaneously and eliminates the need to track two separate replacement dates.

• Twist-in water filter installation completed in under a minute with no tools or plumbing knowledge required

FAQs

Is the PAULTRA the same as the PAULTRA2 air filter?

No. The PAULTRA and PAULTRA2 are separate part numbers designed for different Frigidaire refrigerator model generations with distinct housing designs. Always confirm the correct air filter code on the existing installed filter before ordering to avoid a mismatch.

Does this combo pack fit all Frigidaire refrigerators?

No. The ULTRAWF and PAULTRA combo pack is designed for select Frigidaire refrigerator models that specifically require both the ULTRAWF water filter and PAULTRA air filter codes. Always verify both part numbers against your refrigerator model number before ordering.

Can I buy the ULTRAWF and PAULTRA separately instead of as a combo pack?

Yes. Both the ULTRAWF water filter and PAULTRA air filter are available as individual replacements. The combo pack is the more convenient and cost-effective option for households replacing both on the same 6 month schedule.

Why does my Frigidaire refrigerator need both a water filter and an air filter?

The ULTRAWF filters contaminants from dispensed water and ice while the PAULTRA reduces airborne odor compounds and ethylene gas inside the refrigerator compartment. They serve completely different functions and both need replacing on schedule to maintain consistent performance across both systems.

How do I know if my Frigidaire refrigerator uses the PAULTRA and not the PAULTRA2?

Check the part number printed on the existing air filter currently installed in your refrigerator. If it shows PAULTRA or Pure Air Ultra, this combo pack is the correct replacement. If it shows PAULTRA2 or Pure Air Ultra II, a different combo pack is required for your unit.

Where can I find my Frigidaire refrigerator model number to confirm compatibility?

The model number label is typically located inside the fresh food compartment along the upper door frame or side wall. On some Frigidaire models it may also appear on the back of the refrigerator near the compressor panel.
